The Grand Palace served as a significant royal residence until 1925 and is now used for ceremonial purposes only.

Benchamabophit Temple

Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram temple (aka. The Marble Temple) is regarded one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand, thanks to its traditional Thai symmetrical architecture designed by Prince Naris, a son of King Rama IV, and fine marble imported from Italy.
